Quarterbacks, running backs, and wide receivers took centre stage in the NFL combine on Saturday. Here is a look at five players who stood out on the day.

Brady Cook (QB, Missouri)

Missouri quarterback Brady Cook posted the best numbers of the four quarterbacks involved in Saturday's combine. The 23-year-old posted a 40-yard dash time of 4.59, with a 10-yard split of 1.53. Both of those were the best of the quarterbacks.

He also easily outjumpted his competition, reaching a vertical of 37 inches. That was five inches better than the next best player. Cook's broad jump was equally as impressive, with his 10'8" jump the best of the quartet.

Bhayshui Tuten (RB, Virginia Tech)

The best performer of the day was Bhayshui Tuten out of Virginia Tech. Tuten sped to a 4.32 run during the 40-yard sprint. That was the best of all the running backs. His split of 1.49 also topped the charts. 

It did not stop there for the Hokie, who had a vertical jump of 40'50". As for the only event he did not lead his category for, he finished second in that. This came in the broad jump, where he still managed a 10'10".

Quinshon Judkins (RB, Ohio State)

Quinshon Judkins out of the Ohio State Buckeyes also had a solid day at the combine. The running back posted a 4.48 time in the 40-yard dash, which was he weakest event. His 10-yard split of 1.51, however, was joint second best. 

The 21-year-old made up for his 40-yard time with a strong showing in the vertical jump and broad jump, hitting a 38'50" in the former and 11 inches for the latter. His 11-inch jump was the best of the running backs.

Matthew Golden (WR, Texas)

Texas Longhorns wide receiver Matthew Golden had himself quite the day. His 4.29 run over 40 yards was the best in his position, and second fastest overall. He also had the joint-best 10-yard split of 1.49. 

While his vertical and broad jumps were not done, the 21-year-old is already reportedly catching the eye of the Pittsburgh Steelers as a potential first round draft pick.

Jaylin Lane (WR, Virginia Tech)

Another Virginia Tech player, Jaylin Lane, held his own in a top class of wide receivers. His 4.34 time from 40 yards was the joint-third best of the receivers, while he posted a split of 1.50, also good for third.

Lane's vertical jump was exactly 40 inches, which along with his 11-inch broad jump, were also third best among the wide receivers. His consistency across the four evenths could be something NFL teams will keep an eye on come the draft.
